Taking to X, Shankar wrote, “#Baththa – A beautiful movie with a good story, humanity, excellent humour, and moments that deserve applause throughout. Very good casting and performances, and every close-up of every face is just superb. Best-quality & soulful performance by Vijay Sethupathi. The little boy #SaiPrithivRaj deserves a National Award. Lijomol Jose is so natural and graceful.”
